Integration system and integration method

Abstract

Provided is an integration system capable of integrating a plurality of GUI products without having to modify each of the plurality of GUI products. The integration system comprises an acquisition unit which acquires a screen capture of each of the plurality of GUI products according to condition information indicating a condition of acquiring the screen capture of the GUI product for each of the plurality of GUI products, a storage unit which stores the screen captures acquired by the acquisition unit, a generation unit which generates an integrated screen on which are arranged the screen captures stored in the storage unit according to the screen configuration information indicating a screen configuration of the integrated screen regarding the plurality of GUI products, and an output unit which outputs the integrated screen generated by the generation unit.

1 . An integration system to which are connected a plurality of GUI (Graphical User Interface) products as application programs comprising a GUI, comprising:
 an acquisition unit which acquires a screen capture of each of the plurality of GUI products according to condition information indicating a condition of acquiring the screen capture of the GUI product for each of the plurality of GUI products;   a storage unit which stores the screen captures acquired by the acquisition unit;   a generation unit which generates an integrated screen on which are arranged the screen captures stored in the storage unit according to the screen configuration information indicating a screen configuration of the integrated screen regarding the plurality of GUI products; and   an output unit which outputs the integrated screen generated by the generation unit.   
     
     
         2 . The integration system according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the screen configuration information is provided for each piece of user information of a user using the integration system; and   when the generation unit receives, from a client terminal, the user information of the user requesting to browse the integrated screen, the generation unit generates the integrated screen on which are arranged the screen captures stored in the storage unit according to the screen configuration information corresponding to the received user information.   
     
     
         3 . The integration system according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an authority management unit which manages authority information indicating an authority of the user by associating the authority information with user information of the user using the integration system, wherein:   the screen configuration information is provided for each piece of authority information indicating an authority of the user using the integration system; and   when the generation unit receives, from a client terminal, the user information of the user requesting to browse the integrated screen, the generation unit acquires the authority information of the user via the authority management unit, and generates the integrated screen on which are arranged the screen captures stored in the storage unit according to the screen configuration information corresponding to the acquired authority information.   
     
     
         4 . The integration system according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 each of the plurality of GUI products monitors items to be monitored of a predetermined system;   the integration system further comprises a system management unit which manages status information indicating a status of the predetermined system;   the screen configuration information is provided for each piece of status information indicating the status of the predetermined system; and   the generation unit generates the integrated screen on which are arranged the screen captures stored in the storage unit according to the screen configuration information corresponding to the status information being managed by the system management unit.   
     
     
         5 . The integration system according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 when the generation unit receives, from a client terminal, designated time information indicating a time designated in the client terminal, the generation unit generates the integrated screen on which are arranged the screen captures corresponding to the received designated time information among the screen captures stored in the storage unit.   
     
     
         6 . The integration system according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 each of the plurality of GUI products monitors items to be monitored of a predetermined system;   the integration system further comprises a system management unit which manages monitoring information in which, when an event which occurs in the predetermined system, contents of the event and a time that the event occurred are associated; and   in cases where an event occurs in the predetermined system, when monitoring information being managed by the system management unit is displayed on the client terminal and the generation unit receives, from a client terminal, selection time information indicating a time that was selected as a time that a same event as the event occurred in the client terminal, the generation unit generates the integrated screen on which are arranged the screen captures corresponding to the received selection time information among the screen captures stored in the storage unit.   
     
     
         7 . The integration system according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the condition information includes acquisition condition information indicating a frequency that the acquisition unit acquires a screen capture from each of the plurality of GUI products, and cutout condition information indicating an area in which the screen to be used by the generation unit for generating the integrated screen is to be cut out from the screen capture acquired by the acquisition unit;   the cutout condition information includes application time information indicating a period that the cutout condition information is to be applied;   the acquisition unit acquires a screen capture of the overall screen display for each of the plurality of GUI products according to the acquisition condition information;   the storage unit stores the screen captures acquired by the acquisition unit; and   the generation unit identifies the cutout condition information including the application time information to which is applied the time information of the time for which browsing of the integrated screen was requested in the client terminal, cuts out screens to be used in generating the integrated screen from screen captures corresponding to the time information among the screen captures stored in the storage unit according to the identified cutout condition information, and generates the integrated screen on which are arranged the cutout screens according to the screen configuration information.   
     
     
         8 . An integration method in an integration system to which are connected a plurality of GUI (Graphical User Interface) products as application programs comprising a GUI, comprising:
 a step of an acquisition unit acquiring a screen capture of each of the plurality of GUI products according to condition information indicating a condition of acquiring the screen capture of the GUI product for each of the plurality of GUI products;   a step of a storage unit storing the screen captures acquired by the acquisition unit;   a step of a generation unit generating an integrated screen on which are arranged the screen captures stored in the storage unit according to the screen configuration information indicating a screen configuration of the integrated screen regarding the plurality of GUI products; and   a step of an output unit outputting the integrated screen generated by the generation unit.
